Phone numbers...

Ok everyone... the time is soon approaching and I need some help! I would like to speak in person with the Parker friends when we get the call! I am hoping that some of you will want to get the news first hand by none other than "little miss parker"! If you're interested, please forward your email address in the comments or send it through blogger to mine and we can exchange phone numbers that way... If you're not comfy with the thought then you'll be one of the millions checking and checking for "the call post"!

I cannot get enough of this, especially now!

We are sooo close and every time I need a "pick me up" adoption wise, I re-watch this!! Many of you will recognize this family.... she gave me permission a long time ago to post it on our blog and I never did (thanks Julie)! This get's me so jacked up it's not even funny! Get me on that plane already!!! Oh, wait, we still need our referral! Soon chica's, very, very soon! :)

Fun, rain, and FORTY??

** why won't blogger separate my darn paragraphs!!** Sorry!

Hi there! What a fun night we had! One of my girlfriends from waaaaaay back (Cindy) had a surprise birthday bash for her husbands 40th! She planned a harbour cruise in Portsmouth which is a lovely typical seaside bustling town complete with cobblestone sidewalks and boutiques galore! It's very quaint (until the wee hours when the town is crawling with the pub kids - trust me, we saw plenty)!

A few of us went for a casual dinner on the water and walked around the corner to the boat where about forty of Ron's closest friends and family were waiting to yell "surprise" when he entered! He really seemed surprised and that's just very cool!

Soon after on board MP and I started mingling and it was probably an hour later that I said to my sidekick Rhonda, "I better go find MP"! It was just one of the parties that you get sooo lost in time just cracking up and having fun that the few hour cruise went by in a snap! I hardly get to see "my girls" these days so whenever we get together it's shear childish abandon. Inappropriate jokes, mocking one another, and really goofy dancing (we end up ignoring our spouses - which is a nice retreat for them to catch up too).

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time... I wish that my little tiny glasses of white wine hadn't prevented me from remembering to take pictures throughout the evening, but I did get a bunch of the first few hours. There are many more friends that I so wish I took photo's of, but you know how it goes. Once the camera is out of the purse, you snap about 20 and put it away for the rest of the night! Drats!!!
